Hold down FN key and hit F9. That is the code to lock and unlock the touch pad

Comment on Acer’s Timeline 4810T Update by Stephen

When trying to work on a 5mb word document the CPU kept reaching 100% and the system would lock up. This was happening all the time. After reading a few blogs it was suggested that I should update the Bios however the BIOS files supplied on the ACER website were not for the 4810T. I obtained the latest BIOS from the techguys and so far so good:-

Hope this helps

I love it. Got mine for $376.99 at Best Buy. Don’t think it has the keyboard back lite though.

I doubt it. I would definitely try contacting Acer support. If it truly was a single processor issue, many many more complaints would of been heard. The only other thing I can think of is looking at your tasks and see which ones seem to eat up the resources and memory. I would then disable those and see if you still have freezing issues.

Hi Ericson,

I’m not sure, If you are having issues with Vista, I doubt Win 7 will resolve it since there’s very minimal changes between these versions other than some bells and whistles. But it could be the single core. I’m running the dual core version and haven’t had any issues. You may want to add the vista side bar aps that tracks CPU usage that may help trend when it hangs. Going to the task manager may also show you what process / task is driving up the CPU usage if indeed it’s the CPU. This may at least point you to a culprit that may resolve by uninstalling or updating their drivers.

Hi. I have purchased timeline 4810T too and it keeps hanging up. i tried updating bios to 1.3 and the audio and chipset driver like u said but it still hanged up this morning. is there a possibility that maybe core 2 solo is too much for windows vista? is updating to windows 7 will be of any solution to the problem? thank you.

Hi Aldrin,

Try to go to Acer’s online support and download the updated drivers. Based on other forum users that had similar experiences, it sounds like perhaps an update driver may be necessary. For me, I did this prior to any freezing issues, but I looked at the back of the laptop to see the manufacturer date, on a label, then based on that date, I installed the drivers that came out after that date. For me, It was the audio, bios, cpu chip if I remember correctly.

Here’s the link: http://www.acer.com/worldwide/support/download.htm

Hope this helps.
